SALEM, Ore. (AP) — A legislative budget committee has signed off on a bill that would legalize medical marijuana dispensaries in Oregon.

The Ways and Means Committee approved the bill on Wednesday, sending it to the full House for a vote.

Medical marijuana retail outlets exist now in Oregon, but they operate in a legal gray area and run the risk of being shut down.

Current law says cardholders must grow the pot themselves or designate someone to grow it for them.

Supporters say the bill would make it easier for the state's 53,000 medical marijuana card holders to get their medicine.

Opponents say they're concerned the legislation is a step toward legalizing marijuana.

Voters last November rejected a ballot measure that would have legalized recreational marijuana use. Voters rejected legalizing dispensaries in 2010.

Of course it's a step towards legalizing marijuana. In Colorado, 12 years of MMJ was more than enough to convince voters to demand that the state quit playing stupid games.

Despite great efforts at fear mongering and end of the world as we know it predictions from so-called "Conservatives", nothing bad happened. I'm confident that the experience with legal MJ will be much the same, hastening the end of prohibition everywhere in this country.

Congratulations & the best of luck to the people of Oregon!
